Components No. CAS Value Type (Form of exposure)

Control parameters Base

Refractory Ceramic Fibre 142844-00-6 VLA 1 f/ml ES VLA Based on the "ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE LIMIT TABLES (EVL)" published by the National Institute for Safety and Health at Work (INSHT). Yet industrial hygiene standards and exposure limits at work may vary between countries and local jurisdictions. To comply with local regulations, find out which rules are in force in the country. If there are no directives on the regulation of dust or other standards, you can consult an environmental expert to help you with a specific workplace evaluation, including recommendations for respiratory protection. 8.2 Exposure controls Personal protection Appropriate engineering controls : Review your application(s) and assess situations with the

potential for dust release. Where practical, enclose dust sources and provide dust extraction at source. Designate work areas and restrict access to informed and trained workers. Use operating procedures that will limit dust production and exposure of workers. Keep the workplace clean. Use a vacuum cleaner fitted with a HEPA filter; avoid using brooms and never use compressed air for clean-up. If necessary, consult an industrial hygienist to design workplace controls and practices. The use of products specially tailored to your application(s) will help to control dust. Some products can be delivered ready for use to avoid further cutting or machining. Some could be pre-treated or packaged to minimize or avoid dust release during handling. Consult your supplier for further details

Protection measures : Avoid contact with skin. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Information and Training of workers This should include: • The applications involving refractory fibers-containing products; • The potential risk to health resulting from the exposure to fibrous dust; • The requirements regarding smoking, eating and drinking at the workplace; • The requirements for protective equipment and clothing; • The good working practices to limit dust release; • The proper use of protective equipment. 8.2.3 - Environmental Exposure Controls Refractory fibers is inorganic, inert and stable and it is not soluble in water (solubility <1mg/liter) and as such does not pose a detrimental effect on the environment. Processes involving the manufacturing or use of RCF/ASW should be filtered to minimize fiber emissions to air Waste RCF/ASW should be stored in closed containers and placed in to deep landfills, giving therefore little opportunity for release. General good practice for spills and waste is to prevent products from being windblown, by covering and damping the waste materials. Contain spillages to prevent access to drain. Refer to local, national or European applicable environmental standards for release to air water and soil. For waste, refer to section13

Human toxicological data : In order to determine possible human health effects following RCF

exposure, the University of Cincinnati has been conducting medical surveillance studies on RCF workers in the U.S.A. The Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) has conducted medical surveillance studies on RCF workers in European manufacturing facilities. Pulmonary morbidity studies among production workers in Europe and U.S.A. have demonstrated an absence of interstitial fibrosis. In the European study a reduction of lung capacity among smokers has been identified, however, based on the latest results in the U.S.A. study this reduction is no longer statistically significant. A statistically significant correlation between pleural plaques and cumulative RCF exposure was evidenced in the USA longitudinal study. The U.S.A. mortality study did not show evidence of increased lung tumour development either in the lung parenchyma or in the pleura. Epidemiology of crystalline Silica Prolonged/repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause delayed lung injury (silicosis). However, in reaching its conclusion, IARC stated that the carcinogenicity in humans could not be found in all industries reviewed and that carcinogenicity might be dependent on inherent characteristics of crystalline silica or on external factors affecting biological activity (e.g., cigarette smoking) or distribution of its polymorphs.

11.1 Information on toxicological effects Toxicity for short term inhalation : No data available: Short term tests have been undertaken to

determine fiber (bio) solubility rather than toxicity; repeat dose inhalation tests have been undertaken to determine chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity.

Toxicity oral : No data available: Repeated dose studies have been carried out using gavage. No effect was found.

Serious eye damage/irritation : Not possible to obtain acute toxicity information due to the morphology and chemical inertness of the substance

Skin sensitisation : No evidence from human epidemiological studies of any respiratory or skin sensitization potential

Respiratory or skin sensitisation : No evidence from human epidemiological studies of any respiratory or skin sensitization potential

Reproductive toxicity Germ cell mutagenicity Method : In vitro micronucleus test Species : Hamster (CHO) Dose : 1-35 mg/ml Routes of administration : In suspension Results : Negative Method : Inhalation. Multi-dose Species : Rat Dose : 3 mg/m3,9 mg/m3 and 16 mg/m3

Routes of administration : Nose only inhalation Results : Fibrosis just reached significant levels at 16 and 9 mg/m3 but not at

3 mg/m3. None of the parenchymal tumour incidences were higher than the historical control values for this strain of animal.

Method : Inhalation. Single dose Species : Rat Dose : 30 mg/m3 Routes of administration : Nose only inhalation Results : Rats were exposed to a single concentration of 200 WHO fibres/ml

specially prepared RCF for 24 months. High incidence of exposure-related pulmonary neoplasms (Broncho alveolar adenomas and carcinomas) was observed. A small number of mesotheliomas were observed in each of the fiber exposure groups (Mast et al 1995a).

Method : Inhalation. Single dose Species : Hamster Dose : 30 mg/m3 Routes of administration : Nose only inhalation Results : Hamsters were exposed to a single concentration of 260 WHO

fibres/ml specially prepared RCF for 18 months and developed lung fibrosis, a significant number of pleural mesotheliomas (42/102) but no primary lung tumors (McConnell et al 1995).

Method : Inhalation. Single dose Species : Rat Dose : RCF1: 130 F/ml and 50 mg/m3 (25% of non fibrous particles)

RCF1a: 125 F/ml and 26 mg/m3 (2% of non fibrous particles) Routes of administration : Nose only inhalation Results : Rats were exposed to RCF1 and RCF1a for 3 weeks. The objective

of the study was to compare lung retention and biological effects of the original RCF1 compared to RCF1a. The main difference of these 2 samples was the non fibrous particle content of respectively 25% versus 2%. The post treatment observation was 12 months. Alveolar clearance was barely retarded after RCF1A exposure. After RCF1 exposure , however, a severe retardation of clearance was observed. (Bellmann et al 2001) (Source: publication) After intraperitoneal injection of ceramic fibres into rats in three experiments (Smith et al 1987, Pott et al 1987, Davis et al 1984), mesotheliomas were found in the abdominal cavity in two studies, while the third report (Pott et al 1987) had incomplete histopathology. Only a few mesotheliomas were found in the abdominal cavity of hamsters after intraperitoneal injection in one experiment (Smith et al 1987). However, the ceramic fibres tested were of relatively large diameter. When rats and hamsters were exposed via intraperitoneal injection, tumor incidence was related to fiber length and dose (Smith et al 1987, Pott et al 1987, Miller et al 1999, Pott et al 1989). (From SCOEL publication (EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) publication SCOEL/SUM/165, October 2010)

Reproductive toxicity Method : Gavage Species : Rat Dose : 250mg/kg/day Routes of administration : Oral Results : No effects were seen in an OECD 421 screening study. There are no

reports of any reproductive toxic effects of mineral fibres. Exposure to these fibres is via inhalation and effects seen are in the lung. Clearance of fibres is via the gut and the faeces, so exposure of the reproductive organs is extremely unlikely.

STOT-Single exposure Not applicable STOT-Repeated exposure Not applicable Aspiration hazard Not applicable Negative results have been obtained in animal studies (EU method B 4) for skin irritation. Inhalation exposures using the nose only route produce simultaneous heavy exposures to the eyes, but no reports of excess eye irritation exist. Animals exposed by inhalation similarly show no evidence of respiratory tract irritation. Human data confirm that only mechanical irritation, resulting in itching, occurs in humans, Screening at manufacturers’ plants in the UK has failed to show any human cases of skin conditions related to fiber exposure. 12.

As produced, all Refractory Ceramic Fibres are vitreous (glassy) materials which, upon continued exposure to elevated temperatures (above 900°C), may devitrify. The occurrence and extent of crystalline phase formation is dependent on the duration and temperature of exposure, fiber chemistry and/or the presence of fluxing agents. The presence of crystalline phases can be confirmed only through laboratory analysis of the "hot-face" fiber. IARC’s evaluation of crystalline silica states "Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)" and additionally mentioned "in making the overall evaluation, the Working Group noted that carcinogenicity in humans was not detected in all industrial circumstances studied..." As only a thin layer of the insulation (hot face side) is exposed to high temperatures, respirable dust generated during removal operations does not contain detectable levels of crystalline silica (CS). In applications where the material is heat soaked, duration of heat exposure is normally short and a significant the vitrification allowing CS to build up does not occur. This is the case for waste would casting for instance. Toxicological evaluation of the effect of the presence of CS in artificially heated RCF/ASW material has not shown any increased toxicity in vitro. The lack of toxicological effects may be explained by the following factors ; Increased brittleness of fibres after service life, favours fast fiber translocation through macrophage. Micro crystals, including crystalline silica, are embedded in the glass structure of the fiber and are therefore not biologically available. The IARC evaluation as provided in Monograph 68 is not relevant as CS is not biologically available in after- service RCF/ASW. High concentrations of fibres and other dusts may be generated when after-service products are mechanically disturbed during operations such as wrecking. Therefore ECFIA recommends: • control measures are taken to reduce dust emissions; • all personnel directly involved wear an appropriate respirator to minimize exposure; and • Compliance with local regulatory limits. ECFIA recommends that this fiber should not be used for vaporization / spraying.
